PER CURIAM:
Tonia Wilson appeals the district court’s order upholding
the Commissioner’s denial of Wilson’s application for disability
benefits. Our review of the Commissioner’s disability
determination is limited to evaluating whether the findings are
supported by substantial evidence and whether the correct law
was applied. See Johnson v. Barnhart, 434 F.3d 650, 653 (4th
Cir. 2005). “Substantial evidence is such relevant evidence as
a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a
conclusion.” Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). We do not
reweigh evidence or make credibility determinations in
evaluating whether a decision is supported by substantial
evidence; “[w]here conflicting evidence allows reasonable minds
to differ as to whether a claimant is disabled,” we defer to the
Commissioner’s decision. Id. (internal quotation marks
omitted).
Against this framework, we have thoroughly reviewed the
parties’ briefs, the administrative record, and the joint
appendix, and we discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s order. Wilson v. Colvin, No. 1:11-
cv-00370-MJH-JLW (M.D.N.C. May 28, 2014). We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
2
presented in the materials before this court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
